Manipal Payment & Identity Solutions IPO review
Brokerage firm SBI Securities has assigned ‘neutral’ rating to the Manipal Payment & Identity Solutions IPO, saying that the issue is valued at 30.7x FY26 post-issue P/E. While MPISL is well-placed to benefit from growth in payment and identity solutions, muted revenue growth, rising working capital requirements, and the increasing adoption of digital payment alternatives such as UPI may impact future growth outlook.
“Manipal Payments & Identity Solutions Ltd is among the largest payment card manufacturers in India and globally, serving 300+ customers across banking, fintech, government, and corporate segments. The company delivered a Revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 3.1%/12.7%/0.9% during FY24-FY26, while maintaining healthy RoCE/RoE of 50.1%/32.3%. However, growth in card volumes remained subdued, with banking cards issued declining from 92.0 mn in FY24 to 86.2 mn in FY26. Working capital intensity has also increased, reflected in higher receivable and inventory days,” it said.
Meanwhile, brokerage firm Venture Securities, while giving ‘subscribe’ rating to the IPO, said that the company has established a strong presence in India’s digital payments and identity infrastructure ecosystem, supported by its experience in secure card manufacturing, payment technology and document processing.
“The company is positioned to benefit from increasing digital payment adoption, financial inclusion initiatives, demand for secure authentication solutions and rising outsourcing of payment infrastructure by banks and institutions. Its capabilities across physical and digital identity solutions provide an opportunity to participate in the broader formalisation and digitisation of financial services,” the firm said.
